Newbie with first deals

[Luke Baumbach]

Hi everyone, I'm new to real estate investing and am excited to be closing on my first deals in 2 months. It will be two 4-family buildings.

I was going to ask for cash out refinance lender recommendations, but realized that's not allowed.

So my new question is, what should I be doing to prepare myself?

• Which books to read?
• Which people to start connecting with?
• Should I swap my car for a truck?
• Setting up accounting or other systems?
• What else should I be thinking about?

Thanks!

PS Let's connect on here or my LinkedIn, I'd love to meet more people in the area. Happy to meet up virtually or in person.
